During a recent CNN interview featuring three faith leaders—Catholic Father Edward Beck, Rabbi Angela Buchtal from Central Synagogue, and Imam Abdul Rauf, the founder of the Cordova House.
The discussion became contentious when Father Beck made comparisons between the biblical story of Christmas and current Middle Eastern conflicts, particularly those involving Israel and Hamas.
CNN contributor Father Beck, in his attempt to address those feeling “hopeless,” inadvertently touched a nerve by characterizing Jesus with politically charged terms.
“I don’t think, poppy, we get an answer for the why, but I think the message of Christmas is that god enters into it with us and we’re not alone in it.
What I’m so struck by is that the story of Christmas is about a Palestinian Jew.
